One-on-one · 90 minutes · $150

Sometimes you just need someone to sit with you.

A private working session is ninety minutes, one person, and one thing you actually want to get done. Not a curriculum. Not a tour of features. We open your screen, work on your real task, and keep going until you can do it again without me.

Why this exists

Group classes can't follow you home.

A workshop is good at getting someone from nothing to something. It is not good at the particular thing—the spreadsheet only you have, the way your business words its quotes, the document you cannot share with a room, the question that takes twenty minutes of context before it even makes sense.

That is what this is for. You bring the specific thing. We work on it together, in whatever tool makes sense for it, and I explain what I am doing while I do it so the method comes home with you.

Most people book one session. That is the intended outcome, not a failure of upselling.

What people actually bring

Ordinary problems, mostly.

A task they keep putting off

The letter, the policy, the listing description, the grant paragraph, the thing that has been on the list for three weeks because starting it is the hard part.

Something they need to understand

A contract, an insurance explanation, a diagnosis, a quote, a technical document written for somebody else. Getting to the point where you can ask a good question about it.

A repeated chore

Work done the same way every week that has never been worth automating but has always been worth resenting. Sometimes there is a better way. Sometimes there honestly is not.

"Am I doing this wrong?"

People already using AI who suspect they are getting mediocre results and cannot tell why. Usually they are asking too small and trusting too fast.

How a session runs

Agreed beforehand, so none of it is spent deciding what to do.

  1. You say what you want to work on

    A sentence is enough. If what you describe is not something I can genuinely help with, I will say so before you pay rather than after.

  2. We settle one focus

    One task, one question, one workflow. Ninety minutes spent on one thing produces something you can use; ninety minutes spent on six produces notes.

  3. We work on your screen

    Your device, your files, your accounts. You do the typing wherever possible, because watching someone else do it is not how anyone learns to do it.

  4. You leave with the method, not just the output

    What worked, what to watch for, what to check before trusting an answer, and how to do the same thing again next month.

What's included

Ninety focused minutes.

  • One 90-minute session, in person on the Western Slope or remote
  • One agreed focus, settled before we begin
  • Work done on your own device and accounts
  • A plain-language summary of the approach we used
  • Straight answers about privacy and what not to share with a tool

What this is not

Not a help desk.

  • Not technical IT support, device repair, or password recovery
  • Not software installation or systems administration
  • Not ongoing availability or an open-ended retainer
  • Not legal, medical, tax, or financial advice—AI does not change who is qualified to give it
  • Not a promise that AI will solve the problem; sometimes the honest answer is that it will not

Practical questions

Before you book.

Do I need to already use AI?

No. Plenty of sessions begin with setting up an account and explaining what the thing in front of you actually is. Others begin with someone who has used it daily for a year and wants to get better at it.

Does it have to be in person?

No. In person works well on the Western Slope; remote works fine for most tasks and is often easier to schedule.

What if my task involves private information?

Say so when you get in touch. Part of the session is deciding what genuinely should not go into one of these tools, and finding an approach that works without it. That conversation is a feature of the service, not a limitation of it.

Can two of us come?

If you both work on the same task, usually yes—ask. If you want several people learning together, an organizational workshop is the better shape and the better price.

What if I need more than one session?

Then book another, or—if it turns out the real subject is a whole workflow rather than a single task—look at AI integration for business, which is built for exactly that.

Getting started

Tell me what you're stuck on.

You do not need to explain it well. A rough sentence about what you are trying to do is enough for me to tell you whether ninety minutes will help, and to suggest something else if it will not.
